tress; Miss Florine Arnold, for several
seasons leading support to W. j.
Scanlon; Hoy Cossar. the young
Australian artist; Harry Brown, of
.sMascot'' fame, and E. A. Locke,
the popular comedian. The cast is eXtraor-
dinarily strong. and the drama has found
immense favor with the public. The play
was originally written III French, and had la
run of 700 continuous performances in
Paris. After it was translated into Eng
fish it had a years run in London. when
Eugene Tompkins and J. III. Haverly
bought the English version for America,
from whom Mr.. Andrews purchased 1t. He
has had a successful career with it for the
last three years. The engagement begins

''PARLoR MATCH"
Commencing Thursday evening and con-
tinuing the remainder of the week, includ-
ing Saturday matinee, the popular come
dians Eva3s and Hoey will present their
tidal wave of merriment entitled "a Par
lor Match" This is well known as the
funniest farccal comedy of all of Charlie
Hoyt's burlesque plays. Old HOss and
Me are characters that will ever live in the
memory of fun-loving people. "Parlor
Match" has been greatly improved since
last season by the introduction of many
new features. The music is all new and
fresh as well as the scenery. Several new
artists have been added to the cast, and a
corps of chorus girls, all of which has
tendency to brighten the performance.
THE DIME MUSEUM.
The Seventh street museum will present
as feature next week life size and per-
feet representation of Nina Van Zandt. the
eccentric young lady who married August
Spies, the anarchist. The public is familiar
with the conviction of Spies as accessory
to the bomb throwing tragedy in the hay
market Chicago. but the majority of people
may not be so familiar with the marriage
by proxy of Nina Van Zandt to Spies.
Her marriage caused quite sensation in
Chicago and she has been the butt of the
photographers for some time; thus being the
best advertised woman in the country. In
addition to this feature Princess Ida. the
recently discovered midget, will be eXhib-
tied as the rival of Luai Zarete, who is
we'll known as the smallest woman ever ex-
hibited. In the theaters new featues are
offered, a full speciality company appearing
the grand theater, his new local comedy es-
dubbed ''Hoolihan's Adventures, or Trip
to White Bear" The play is said to con-
tain quite number of local hits.
AT THE OLYMPIC.
The attraction at the Olympic last week
was the Nickle- Roberts company. which did
a paying business. For the week beginning
tomorrow night Manager Hilton has the
Crescent City Comedy Celebrities. some of
the artists being Jem and George Powers,
Fernando Fleury, Cotton and Davis. Frances
lie Mar. George Luproil, Charles Leon.
Pauline Lnproil Bobby DALEY, Lottie Ray
and Billy Wells. The afterpiece will be a
local one, and full of incidents as seen every
day in the Northwest.
DRAMATIC NOTES.
The Lone Fisherman invariably laughs
when the funny policeman is getting off his
jumbed rhetoric. The laugh is not part of
the play. 1t is natural and Moffitt cannot re-
SiSt it.
Signor Jonnottas ''Alidor' rehearsals will
be on Monday evenings hereafter instead of
Thursday, at Ford's music store.
